I think it does, because currently putting out a major release takes
between 6 and 10 months.  That leaves no time for working on any
significant new features, because who if not the most dedicated
developers are the driving force behind making a new major version
release-grade stable?  We don't have enough manpower to divide the
efforts between 2 branches while working on a major release.
